General Finishes

A family antique received a complete makeover. The body was first base coated with a mixture of GF Antique White and Driftwood milk paints (to prevent bleed throigh). I then painted in GF Antique white, slightly distressed, glazed with Van Dyke Brown and sealed with GF HP Topcoat  

The drawer fronts were painted with MM iron paint. Then we did a raised stencil with AE Pearl Plaster, lightly tinted with GF Patina Green to create a subtle aqua color. Next, we sprayed MM Rust Activator and let it flow over the raised stencil, then sealed with HP Topcoat. 

This soft and sweet,  vintage dresser was base coated in GF Persian Blue. I then blended in GF Baby Blue,  AS Provence and Rustoleum Serenity Blue. I did a very light wash of GF Antique White.

The drawer pulls were painted in GF Antique and coated with GF HP Topcoat, tinted with a splash of Driftwood to create an aged effect  

The inside of the drawers were painted with Valspar satin White. The entire piece was sealed with GF HP Topcoat. 

A vintage armoire was transformed into a cowgirl's dream. Painted in GF Patina Green, glazed with GF Van Dyke Brown and sealed with GF HP Topcoat. 

The doors and drawers were covered in authentic black and white cowhide. 

When it comes to the palette of Farmhouse colors, green is the new gray!! The body of this piece was painted in GF Cypress milk paint. Although the color is discontinued, it can be recreated using Lamp Black and Sunburst yellow. 

The top was sanded down to the bare wood.  t then added a splash of GF Driftwood to HP Topcoat to give it just a slight tint, then applied to the top. 

This gorgeous western Armoire was painted in GF Milstone milk paint, slightly distressed, glazed with Van Dyke Brown, and sealed with GF HP Topcoat. 

The drawer fronts were covered in anaglypta, painted with GF Lamp Black milk paint and Rustoleum brown chalk paint, then sealed with GF HP Topcoat. 

The sides of the box were first covered with gold, turquoise and copper gold-leafs. I then painted the gold leafs with copper, metal-reactive paint, leaving sections of the gold leafs exposed. I sprayed the surface with blue and green patina sprays, sprinkled some some iron paint and then sprayed with Rust activator. 

The remainder of the box was painted with General Finishes Patina Green milk paint. I put additional turquoise gold-leaf on a few spots over the milk paint. I applied gold gold-leaf to the trim areas of the doors and drawers. 

This vintage dresser turned farmhouse chic with Driftwood Gray milk paint, a touch of Van Dyke Brown glaze and HP Topcoat. The top was sanded down to its natural color and HP Topcoat applied. The knobs and pulls were lightly sanded and painted with Lamp Black milkpaint. 

This beautiful mid-century modern dresser was already beautiful, but after painting with Antique White milkpaint and applying Van Dyke Brown glaze, HP Topcoat and handles refreshed with gold rubnbuff, she's now a showstopper!
